Description

This is a POC utilizing OpenCV, FastCV, and TLD.

Technologies

OpenCV

• real time computer vision libraries
• written in C++, bindings available in python
• motion understanding, hci, otion tracking, augmented realiity, machine learning support

FastCV

• better sdk / developed by qualcomms
• focused on mobile devices (android first, works on ios/others)
• used by ionroad
• high speed computation to identify shapes and field of view

TLD

• algorithm tracking unknown ojects in unconstrained video streams
• tracks object and learns appearance, detects again when in appears in video
• written in C++

Installation

• Follow instructions here: http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/06/22/install-opencv-3-0-and-python-2-7-on-ubuntu/
• Compile Fix: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31663498/opencv-3-0-0-make-error-with-ffmpeg

Grabbing Sample Videos

1. Use youtube-dl (e.g. Search: "dashcam", "security footage")
2. Slice using VLC

Test

python meanshift_test.py 
python camshift_test.py 
python motion_detector.py --video videos/robbery.mp4

Results

• Dashcam Meanshift: https://youtu.be/esotW6TFkFs
• Traffic Meanshift: https://youtu.be/NyR_7e7JXAA
• Robbery Motion Detection: https://youtu.be/nOdJ8osPdr4
